Maybe the original patch took an hour to write, but it's sure been
bikeshedded to death :-(.  I was complaining about the total amount
of attention spent more than the patch itself.

The patch of record seems to be v4 from 2022-01-13, which was failing
in cfbot at last report but presumably could be fixed easily.  The
proposed documentation's grammar is pretty shaky, but I don't see
much else wrong in a quick eyeball scan.
